Seeking advice for backend system design and framework for a new game
2019 Community Moderator ElectionWhen should new .NET projects be designed for .NET 4 FrameworkCore Data on client (iOS) to cache data from a server StrategyUsing NodeJS for a big projectTemplate management similar to Shopify - Architecture RecommendationsConnect Nodejs Faye-Client to Rails Faye serverSeeking architecture advice regarding Redis vs RabbitMQ + AerospikeHow to design a news feed system like google reader?Java/Android front-end client and node js backend server?Web socket connection for AndroidApproaches to delegating development to team members
I'm working as a Software Engineer in a gaming company and our product team has come up with a new game for Android and iOS (a casual isometric game like Gardenscapes). Our team has to setup the backend system for the game (yes, it's gonna be a network-based game where client-server communication happens via REST calls). We have experience working with legacy systems but have not really built systems required for game play and related, from scratch. In that regard, we are reaching out to the community seeking the necessary guidelines for building such a system by a budding team such as us...
I've collected a few requirements that I thought would be required to keep in mind to decide on the backend design and the framework to choose:
The game is gonna have isometric gameplay and a meta gameplay. As it
is isometric, it would need real-time updates. - So we would need to add a web socket I believe (any suggestions would be helpful). And
this also means that there are going to be background jobs which need
to completed by the server at a later point in time.Game data (or the market data) for the gameplay is going to be
managed at the server by a live ops team. So, we need an admin tool for this. There are of course multiple entities in the game and are
definitely going to be related to each other (currently it's mostly
one-to-many but going ahead there could be many-to-one and
many-to-many as well). So, I was thinking MySQL would the best
option.Expected total installs initially (first 3 months) would be expected
at 1 million and over a lifetime it could go up to 5M. DAU could be around 100K. The game is gonna have a metagame as well, so it is
expected that a player is gonna spend 50% of the time in meta gameplay
(no requests would be sent during this time) and 50% in isometric
gameplay (where there would be requests to the server for updates) in a
given session. And a session length could be around 30 mins. For
this, should we be prepared for sharding from the beginning? If so,
I'd like to understand which is preferred (sharding at the application
layer vs DB layer) and the reason for it.
I've good expertise in rails (6 years of working experience) and a decent one in server-side javascript (NodeJS, express and some modules attached to these)
My initial inclination was towards rails as I believe it solves the above problems well enough (please correct me if I'm wrong!). Although I really liked the async style of processing in NodeJS (I've developed some APIs on this), I'm not sure it has the feature-rich MVC framework (I've used the only express) such as rails.
Thank you very much for the patience of going through the above request!
Awaiting your valuable inputs...
